Champions League: Salah rested for Liverpool’s Porto procession

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp took the chance to rest 32-goal Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah for Tuesday’s Champions League last 16, second leg against Porto with the English side boasting a 5-0 first-leg lead.

Klopp makes five changes in all from the team that started a 2-0 win over Newcastle last time out with one eye on Saturday’s trip to Manchester United in the Premier League.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also drop out to make way for Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Alberto Moreno, James Milner and Adam Lallana.

Porto boss Sergio Conceicao showed his priorities very much lie in winning the Portuguese title back off Benfica as he makes 10 changes from their first-leg hammering.

Only Diego Reyes remains from Porto’s heaviest-ever home European defeat as goalkeeper Iker Casillas returns for a record 167th appearance in the Champions League.
